Michigan Football: Wolverines will beat Ohio State this season
By Jack Cote
It might seem out there, but this is the year that Michigan football is going to be the Ohio State Buckeyes.
This is the year folks. Five losses under the direction of Harbaugh, a guy we specifically brought to Ann Arbor to help beat Ohio State. Time and time again, Jim Harbaugh, along with the entire program of Michigan football, disappoint us.
But that ends now—no more losing. Next year, if the season even happens, Michigan football will beat all regular-season competition, including Ohio State, make the college football playoff, and get blown out by Alabama or Clemson. Why would I ever predict that? It’s bizarre!
If you ask me that, you are 100 percent right, it’s bizarre and completely unreasonable, but guess what, Dylan McCaffrey is the real deal.

He has been sitting on the sideline waiting for his curtain call, and that Broadway debut is finally here baby. McCaffrey is everything you look for in a quarterback, his presence, his power, he is built for the game of football, especially college football.
When you look at some of the great college football quarterbacks more recently, you think of Tebow, Mariota, Winston, and even Trevor Lawrence, the current quarterback of the Clemson Tigers. What do all those guys have in common? They can run the football with force and confidence. So can McCaffrey, just like his older brother.
Yes, it’s a longshot, but at the end of the day, it’s the best chance we got. Harbaugh is hanging on by a thread. McCaffrey has been itching his whole life for this moment, this season, this opportunity.
Michigan football is slowly but surely turning around. At the end of last year, as torturous as the Ohio State blow out was, there were signs of a robust and well-rounded football team.
All it was missing was a gutsy coach and quarterback duo. Shea Patterson was great, he did the best he could, but his two years at Michigan football felt like an eternity, and we all knew he wasn’t the guy for the job. And by the job I mean, a quarterback to lead the Michigan football squad to a win over Ohio State and it’s first playoff berth.
All the cynical fans out there, which is pretty much everyone at this point, need to start thinking positive. Winning ways are upon us Ann Arbor; the drought is coming to an end.
